NO REAL DOUBTS! [11.02.97]

I am neither phenomenologist enough to advocate the kind of an encapsulated redundancy I have described, nor realist enough to believe it is forced upon me. The fact that my only approach to reality is through offering some responsible construction of it does not discourage me from postulating that it is there. The open question for man is not whether reality exists or not, but what he can make of it. If he does make something of it he can stop worrying about whether it exists or not. If he doesn’t make something of it he might better worry about whether he exists or not.
